Tamara also addressed the backlash she faced after revealing that she was still breastfeeding her 4 year old.”I think as women you get flack for everything, whether it’s that or something else, and to be honest it’s really water off a duck’s back at this point,” she told Closer. Speaking about the freedom she’s found in turning 40 and how it’s shifted her perspective, Tamara said: “I feel turning 40 is a very liberating experience and you don’t really worry about things that you did in your twenties. I would never want to go back in time.”Tamara breastfeeds her four-year-oldThis isn’t the first time Tamara has come under fire for her parenting choices as last spring, she faced backlash from followers after unveiling the exotic pet she had purchased for her daughter.
